It is admirable that he tries to work through it. But, if waiting will delay when he is ready in 2013, with no guarantee that he can pitch this year, then I don’t think he should wait.

Eduardo Sanchez and Sam Freeman optioned with Maikel Cleto and some dude named Barrett Browning being recalled to STL.

I was really hoping they could bet the pen straightened out without going outside of the organization
but it looks more and more like Mo’s going to have to get on the bat phone if this latest move doesn’t solidify the Gas House Gang that is the Cards relief corps.

The front office definitely has decisions to make and they won’t be easy, trading a top prospect for a rental isn’t going to happen and any kind of help who’s under control is going to cost and cost big time.
